[Postcard2] Acoustic Jazz

[John Kinnamon]

Someone early on in this thread mentioned Robinella in passing, but she has
a number of fine jazz-tinged albums out that are among my personal
favorites.  Alison Brown has a slew of good acoustic jazz albums to her
credit too.  A favorite jazzy album of mine is "This Train" by a group
called The Wayfaring Strangers.  Madeleine Peyroux is making good vocal
jazz.  So are Melody Gardot and Rebecca Martin.  I'll also second the
Strength in Numbers set from the early 90's.  I saw that group perform live
at Telluride back in that era, and it was about as close to a religious
experience as I've had.
